Stalk Me by Jillian Dodd

This is the first book in the Keatyn Chronicles and it is pretty interesting. I am very back and forth on if I love Keatyn or hate her.

Basically, everything in Keatyn's life is perfectly fake. Her mother is a movie star and she lives in Malibu. She is left alone a lot and is able to come and go as she pleases. Everyone thinks that she has the perfect life...perfect boyfriend and great best friends. Everything is not as it appears...her relationship is not as hot and heavy as it appears and Sander is constantly getting drunk and Keatyn has to take care of her. Her best friend is blackmailing her in order to keep their status in the school. Keatyn feels like everything is falling apart. Her mom's stalker has become angry with her. Keatyn finally decides that she should do what makes her happy and tries to make her life her own.

Keatyn kind of has multiple personalities. She has the glam Barbie doll, the surfer chick and the soccer chick. There are hot boys of course that all love her. She is only 16 and I think that Jillian Dodd did a great job of looking at life as a 16 year old. She made Keatyn seem older in a lot of ways but she also had her make her choices as a 16 year old would. Even though Keatyn is mature and does a lot of great things you understand that she is young. I did get really mad at her as I was reading and wanted to shake her. I am looking forward to reading Kiss Me-the next book in the series. I am giving this book 4 stars.
